The apparatus preferably used consists of a combined converter and reverberatory furnace mounted upon trunnions. The charge of iron is introduced into the converter part a, and the apparatus is inclined so that the hot air blast from the tuyeres h, h<1> acts upon the surface of the metal; when the desired percentage of silicon and manganese is obtained, the metal is transferred to the reverberatory part b and a flame is maintained over the metal by supplying air and gas from the tuyeres h, h<1> while the charge is treated with oxide of iron; the slag is then removed and a stream of deoxidizing-gas is supplied to the surface of the metal from the tuyere k and air or equivalent gas is supplied immediately beneath the roof by the tuyere k<1>, the reducing-gas being burnt in the upper part of the furnace. The gases escaping from the apparatus are passed to a regenerator for heating the air supply. The Provisional Specification 22,569/10 also describes the use of a cupola in direct communication with a converter having tuyeres above and below the surface of the metal, the converter communicating by a controlled passage with a reverberatory furnace provided with tuyeres for reducing-gas and air; it also states that the reducing-gas is forced upwards through the metal.

Abstract: 13,396. Lake, H. W., [Aeolian Co.]. June 3. Combined with phonographs etc.; winding- mechanism.-Separate motors 11, 13 are provided for driving an automatic musical instrument 10 and phonograph 12, which are connected by gearing. By means of a series of clutches 21, 17, 18, and 25, either motor may be put out of operation. Thus, to drive both the phonograph and the musical instrument from the pneumatic motor 11, the clutch 25 is opened and the other clutches are closed. To drive the phonograph alone by its spring motor 13, the clutch 25 is closed and the clutch 18 opened. To drive both the phonograph and musical instrument by the motor 13, the clutch 21 is opened and the other clutches are closed. The phonograph may be put out of operation while the motor 13 continues to drive the musical instrument. By opening the clutches 17, 25 and closing clutches 21, 18, the phonograph only may be driven by the motor 11. By opening the clutch 18 and closing the clutches 21, 17, the musical instrument only may be driven by the motor 11. By closing all the clutches, both the phonograph and musical instrument may be driven by both motors. By opening the clutch 17, the phonograph only may be driven by both motors, and by closing all the clutches and putting the phonograph out of operation, the musical instrument may be driven by both motors. A brake 26 co-operating with a disk 27 is controlled by a pneumatic 28, which communicates with the motor 11 bv means of a pipe, and is controlled by the variations in the suction acting upon the motor.

Abstract: 28,923. Carslake, J. B., and Gibson, A. H., [Executors of Hipkins, W. E.], and Barraclough, A. Dec. 22. Automatic - feed weighers. - Relates to means for compensating in automatic - feed weighers for variation in the specific gravity of the material being weighed, and for reducing error due to the material between the feed - hopper and the weigh - pan at cut - off. The weigh - pan d contains a bottomless dribble - feed compartment formed by a partition e as described in Specification 1496/11, and within this compartment is suspended from one end of a beam m an auxiliary hopper j such as is described in Specification 1279/09, provided with a discharge gate k<1>. With the main feed in operation, a projection h on the feed-gate engages a lever i and holds open the gate k<1>, but in the dribble feed position the projection h allows the gate k<1> to close, and the dribble feed first fills, and then overflows from, the auxiliary hopper j. The beam m tips and presses on the edge of the weigh-pan d, thus compensating for the material in suspension at cut-off. As the cut-off gate reopens after the discharge of the weigh-pan d, the contents of the auxiliary hopper j are discharged towards the next weighing. Baffleplates r are arranged in the dribble-feed comcompartment to reduce the shock caused by the falling material.

For testing a complete lamp, the lamp is supported within the mixing- chamber by a support j, Fig. 1, on the end of the central rod c. For testing lamps without the oil-containers, the upper end of the chamber a is covered by a perforated plate k, Fig. 2. The central rod c may extend up into the lamp, with additional baffling-disks thereon. An extension q on the gas-supply pipe carries a burner near the lamp outlets, and may serve as an operating-handle for the main gas-supply cock p.
